Clinton seeks to accelerate START I deactivation measures

Article Abstract:

Pres Bill Clinton publicized his decision to accelerate the deactivation of America's nuclear weapons named under START I, and work in conjunction with Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan to speed up the fulfillment of START I's goals. Clinton and Pres Boris Yeltsin announced decisions to formulate a global nuclear test ban following the summit in Vancouver in April 1993. Yeltsin's announcement in 1992 to prevent targeting of the US by Russia's missiles was not reciprocated by Pres George Bush and the head of the V-S Strategic Command (STRATCOM), General Lee Butler.

GAO says sub-based deterrent strongest leg of U.S. 'Triad'

Article Abstract:

The sea based stage of strategic modernization programs in the US is the strongest and most cost effective part of the strategic triad, according to the General Accounting Office (GAO). The GAO found that ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) offer faster and more reliable communications and they are less detectable than is generally perceived. It has questioned the need and efficiency of the B-2 stealth bomber, as only limited numbers and types of tests have been carried out.

Kiev summit leaves key military issues unresolved

Article Abstract:

The recent summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States held in Kiev, Ukraine, failed to resolve crucial military issues regarding the nuclear arsenal of the former USSR. Problems regarding the transfer of nuclear weapons to Russia, the situation of non-strategic nuclear weapons and the issue as to who owns the Black Sea Fleet still remained unresolved. This has implications on the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty which is up for ratification in the US Senate.
